Frame Reinforcement The M1008, M1008A1, M1010, M1028, and M1028A1 models of the CUCVs manufactured before March 1985 must have the frame reinforcement bracket applied (fig 2-8). Each vehicle must be checked to see if this bracket has been applied on all models before the CUCVs are lifted at their gross vehicle weight with a crane. 2-11 TM 55-2320-289-14 2-12 Figure 2-8. 30 January 1987 TM 55-2320-289-14 30 January 1987 2-7. Tiedown of CUCVs The towing eyes located on the front and rear of the CUCVs are used as the tiedown points for the vehicles. In the cargo trucks, eight cargo tiedowns have been installed. Four are located on each side at about 4, 28,72, and 90 inches from the front face of the cargo compartment (fig 2-9). Table 2-1. Towing Capcity of Tow Pintles on CUCVs Definitions of Terms Used in Table: 1. Curb weight: The weight of base vehicle with BII and all fuels and lubes topped off. 2. Payload: The operator, passengers, personnel gear, cargo, trailer tongue load, or anything on the vehicle that increases the gross weight above the curb weight. 3. Gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR): The maximum gross weight at which the vehicle is permitted to be operated. 4. Gross towed load: The weight of the towed trailer and its payload. 5. Trailer tongue load: The vertical load placed on the trailer towing pintle by the trailer lunette. The lunette must be considered part of the truck payload and should not exceed 10 percent of the gross trailer load. 6. Flight-line towing allowance: Fixed and rotary wing aircraft which exceed the normal maximum gross towed load may be towed under limited operational procedures as follows: a. Speed will not exceed 5 mph. b. Vehicle will be operated with transmission in low range (“1”), transfer case in 2W drive. c. The gross load (ie., the aircraft) will not exceed 15,000 lb. d. The tongue load will not exceed 100 lb. for the M1009 and 300 lb. for M1008, M1008A1, M1028 or M1028A1. e. Operation will be on flat (level) hard surface. 2-13 TM 55-2320-289-14 2-14 Figure 2-9. Cargo tiedowns in CUCV cargo beds. 30 January 1987 30 January 1987 TM 55-2320-289-14 2-8. Reduced Configuration Economical transport can be obtained by reducing such vehicle to its minimum dimensions for transport. The vehicle’s removable items such as bows and tarps should be stowed in the vehicle cargo compartment. Cargo will not cause vehicle to exceed the maximum certified weight when prepared for airlift. 2-9. Unusual Characteristics The vehicles have no unusual characteristics that require that special attention be given to temperature, atmospheric pressure, or humidity variations during exposure to normal transportation environments. 2-10. Hazardous and Dangerous Characteristics Unless the vehicles are shipped with ammunition or explosives under the provisions of the Department of Transportation Special Permit No. 3498 (applicable only to shipment by motor vehicle or rail in periods of actual emergency), they will not present any hazardous or dangerous characteristics during normal transport. 2-15 TM 55-2320-289-14 30 January 1987 CHAPTER 3 SAFETY WARNING 3-1. General General safety considerations and precautions for handling and moving the CUCVs are as follows: a. The entire vehicle must be checked to ensure that all loose items are properly secured to prevent damage during shipment. b. A ground guide must be used when the vehicle is backed or moved in a confined area. c. Other operational safety precautions are outlined in the operators manual. The CUCVs will not be externally lifted by helicopter. WARNING When the CUCV with the S-250 shelter is shipped by rail, using wood deck railcars, the shelter must be removed and shipped separately to prevent damage to the shelter. When using steeldeck cushioned frame flatcars, the shelter may remain on the vehicle if secured as shown in figure 7-5. Fire extinguishers must be readily available during all loading and unloading operations. WARNING If the vehicle is operated during loading and unloading, proper ventilation must be provided. Prolonged inhalation of exhaust fumes could be fatal. WARNING Personnel must not stand or walk under the vehicle when the vehicle is being lifted. d. All lifts should have sufficient guidelines attached to control the swing of the vehicle. e. Slings and sling items used in loading and unloading operations should be inspected for safe working conditions. CAUTION The CUCVs, at maximum gross weight, cannot be lifted by cranes unless the frame modification kit has been applied. This modification is required on all models except the M1009 (fig 2-8). CAUTION NOTE The CUCV with S-250 mounted must be loaded aboard C-130 and C-141 aircraft forward end first. Do not attempt to load by backing aboard. 3-2. Specific Safety Requirements Pertinent safety requirements by individual modes are provided, where applicable, in the subsequent chapters. 3-1 TM 55-2320-289-14 30 January 1987 CHAPTER 4 AIR TRANSPORTABILITY GUIDANCE Section I. GENERAL 4-1. Scope This chapter provides air transportability guidance for movement of the CUCVs. It covers technical and physical characteristics, as well as safety considerations, and prescribes the materials required to prepare, load, and unload vehicles on US Air Force aircraft. Also, it provides examples of tiedown diagrams and data tables for loading vehicles in C-130, C-141, and C-5A aircraft. 4-2. Maximum Utilization of Aircraft Cargo may be carried in the cargo compartment of the CUCV if the gross vehicle weight rating is not exceeded. Such cargo must be securely restrained in the vehicle, otherwise cargo must be removed from the vehicle and secured to the aircraft floor. The restraining device must meet the same restraint criteria as the vehicle whether the cargo is located in or out of the vehicle. The load must not exceed the maximum rated load capacity for these vehicles. The weight of the vehicle and its cargo must be accurate. The vehicle and its cargo are considered as one package, and the gross vehicle weight is used to determine tiedown requirements in accordance with chapter 4, FM 55-9 (Unit Air Movement Planning). 4-3. Safety In addition to the safety precautions contained in chapter 3, the following should be noted. a. The activity offering the vehicle for air transport will notify the aircraft commander or his/her designated representative when ammunition or explosives are to be transported within the vehicles. b. In accordance with TM 38-250/AFR 71-4, the fuel level may be three-quarters full when loaded on the cargo floor, or one-half full when loaded on aircraft ramp during contingencies. The fuel level must be no more than one-quarter full during routine airlift. c. The vehicles must be restrained for air transport in accordance with applicable procedures in Air Force Technical Order (TO) IC-xxx-9. CAUTION The CUCV will not be externally lifted by helicopter. NOTE The CUCV with S-250 mounted must be loaded aboard C-130 and C-141 aircraft forward end first. Do not attempt to load by backing aboard. 4-4. Responsibility The loadmaster will ensure that the loaded equipment is secured in accordance with restraint criteria outlined in TO lC-xxx-9. Section Il. TRANSPORT BY US AIR FORCE AIRCRAFT 4-5.

Any CUCV with a load height in excess of 94 inches is restricted to only the side door models of the Boeing 747. The maximum height for side-door loading is 114 inches. Table 4-4. Tiedown Data for the CUCV in US Army CH-47 Helicopter (Fig 4-4) 4-9 TM 55-2320-289-14 30 January 1987 CHAPTER 5 HIGHWAY TRANSPORTABILITY GUIDANCE Section I. GENERAL 5-1. Scope This chapter provides highway transportability guidance for movement of the CUCVs. It includes safety considerations and lists the materials and guidance required to prepare, load, unload, and tie down the vehicles. 5-2. Safety In addition to the safety precautions contained in chapter 3, movement is subject to all safety laws, rules, and regulations applicable to commercial carriers in CONUS. In overseas areas, movement is governed by theater and local regulations. Section Il. SELF-PROPELLED MOVEMENT 5-3. General As self-propelled vehicles, the CUCVs can move without any restrictions over all road networks within CONUS and overseas. No special preparations are required for the vehicles to move under their own power. Section Ill. TRANSPORT BY SEMITRAILER 5-4. Transport by Semitrailer The CUCVs may be transported over highway by both military and commercial flatbed semitrailers. Semitrailers not more than 96 inches wide will provide for unrestricted moves in CONUS and overseas. 5-5. Preparation for Transport Special preparation of the CUCVs for transport by semitrailer may consist of reducing the CUCVs to their lowest shipping configuration. Normally, the overall height of the CUCV, when loaded on the M127A1 semitrailer, will not exceed 13 feet 6 inches. 5-6. Loading on Semitrailer a. Loading. The CUCVs may be towed or driven onto a flatbed trailer if ramps are available. Empty CUCVs can be loaded by crane. Before the CUCV is loaded at its gross vehicle weight, each vehicle must be checked to see if the frame reinforcement kits have been applied. The M1009, however, does not require the bracket to be mounted. b. Tiedown and Blocking. After the vehicle has been placed in the tiedown position, it will be tied down on a semitrailer as shown in figure 5-1. Figure 5-2 shows blocking and tiedown details. Also, chains and binders may be used to tiedown the CUCVs on semitrailers. The bill of materials and application of materials for tiedown of a CUCV are shown in tables 5-1 and 5-2, respectively. The bill of materials and application of materials for blocking and tiedown of a CUCV are provided in tables 5-3 and 5-4, respectively. 5-1 TM 55-2320-289-14 5-2 Figure 5-1. 30 January 1987 30 January 1987 Figure 5-2.

GENERAL 6-1. Scope This chapter provides marine and terminal transportability guidance for movement of the CUCVs. It includes safety considerations and lists of materials required to prepare, lift, tie down, load, and stow the vehicles. 6-2. Safety In addition to the safety precautions in chapter 3, the following precautions apply: a. All vessel gear and equipment should be inspected before use. b. All stevedore slings and other items used in loading and unloading operations should be inspected before use. c. Lifting rings and shackles should be inspected to ensure they are complete and undamaged. d. All lifts should have at least two tag lines attached to control the movement of the suspended vehicle. e. Fuel tanks must be drained and the battery cables disconnected and taped. Section Il. LOADING AND SECURING 6-3. General Rules for Stowage Whenever possible, the vehicles should receive the protection of below-deck stowage. In general, good stowage of vehicles means vehicles are placed fore and aft as close together as practical, with 4- to 6-inch spacing between outer vehicles and sweatboards. If not shipped on the vehicle, breakable parts, spare parts, and OEM (on equipment materiel) should be protected and properly identified as to location or disposition during shipment. Vehicles in the ship’s hold should have wheels blocked in front, in rear, and on both sides so that the vehicles cannot move in any direction. Individual wheel blocks should be braced to bulkheads, stanchions, and other wheel blocks. All vehicles should be lashed with wire rope or chains to nearby bulkheads, stanchions, or padeyes. a. Lifting. The vehicle has four lifting points —two are located on the front bumper and two are located on the rear bumper. To lift this vehicle, a spreader bar must be used as shown in figure 6-1. 6-1 30 January 1987 TM 55-2320-289-14 Figure 6-1. CUJCV lifted by a four-legged sling and spreader bar. 6-2 30 January 1987 TM 55-2320-289-14 b. Spreader Bar. The spreader bar must be used with the four-legged sling to prevent damage to the truck’s grill and hood. Typical spreader bars are shown in the Crosby General Catalog. As shown in figure 6-1, the spreader bar consists of the following items of equipment: (1) Four top chains, 3/8-inch, 184 inches long, with 7,300-pound workload. (2) Four bottom chains, 3/8-inch, 92 inches long, with 7,300-pound workload. (3) Two I-beams, 4-inch, (7.7 pounds per foot), 260 inches long. (4) Angle irons, 2-inch, at three locations so that front of spreader bar is 28% inches and rear is 34 inches. c. Loading. When loaded on cargo vessels, the CUCVs will be in their minimum cube configuration; that is, reduced height with or without cargo and reduced width with side mirrors folded back or removed. The CUCVs can be loaded in operational configuration aboard landing craft, beach discharge and amphibious lighters, and landing ships under their own power, by towing, or by cranes of at least 10-ton capacity. They can be loaded onto decks of barges from a pier when tidal conditions are suitable and when ramps are available. They can also be loaded onto seagoing vessels by shoreside or floating cranes of adequate capacity or ships lifting gear. Except for the M1009 model, each vehicle must be checked to see if the frame reinforcement kits have been mounted before each vehicle is lifted at its gross vehicle weight by crane. 6-4. General Cargo and Barge-Type (LASH and SEABEE) Ships Fuel tanks must be drained, and battery terminals must be disconnected and taped. a. Lighterage. When the CUCVs are transported by lighterage to or from the vessel, blocking will be required. When the vehicles are to be transported long distances or through rough water, tiedowns must be used. b. Securing. Requirements for securing the CUCVs aboard general cargo and barge-type vessels are essentially the same. The wheels of the trucks are blocked in front, in rear, and on both sides; if tiedowns are required, the vehicles will be lashed with wire rope or chains to bulkheads, stanchions, or padeyes. Figure 6-2 shows typical blocking and tiedown details. The bill of materials and application of materials for blocking and tiedown of CUCVs on general cargo or barge-type vessels are provided in tables 6-1 and 6-2, respectively. 6-3 TM 55-2320-289-14 6-4 Figure 6-2. 30 January 1987 30 January 1987 TM 55-2320-289-14 c. Stowage in SEABEE Barge. When the CUCVs are to be transported by SEABEE barge for a long distance or through rough waters, they will be blocked and tied down as shown in figure 6-3. 6-5 TM 55-2320-289-14 6-6 Figure 6-3. 30 January 1987 TM 55-2320-289-14 30 January 1987 6-5. Roll-On/Roll-Off (RORO), Seatrain, and Attack Cargo Ships NOTE When CUCVs are loaded on vessels that are adequately ventilated by power blowers, such as RORO vessels, fuel tanks can remain undrained and battery terminals connected. a. Loading. The CUCVs can be loaded under their own power or towed aboard vessels with roll-on capability. b. Securing. RORO, seatrain, and attack cargo ships are equipped with patented lashing gear and prepositioned fittings on deck. The use of such equipment is adequate and blocking is not required. Figure 6-4 shows a typical tiedown of the CUCV on the RORO vessel with 10,000-pound-capacity lashings. Table 6-1.

GENERAL 7-1. scope This chapter provides transportability guidance for movement of the CUCVs. It covers safety considerations and lists the materials required to prepare, load, block, and tie down the vehicles. 7-2. Maximum Utilization of Railcars Additional cargo, as approved by the activity offering the vehicles for transport, may be transported with the vehicles. 7-3. Safety In addition to the safety precautions contained in chapter 3, the following should be noted. NOTE When shipping the CUCV with the S-250 shelter, by rail on wooden deck cars, the shelter must be removed and shipped separately to prevent damage to the shelter. Section Il. TRANSPORT ON CONUS RAILWAYS 7-4. General The transportability guidance contained in this section is applicable when the CUCVs are transported on CONUS railways. Consideration is given to single and multiple vehicle movements for these vehicles. The vehicles, when loaded on a suitable railcar, can be transported without restrictions and without being disassembled. 7-5. Preperation for Loading a. When the CUCV is placed on flatcars or open-top cars, protective material must be placed in front of and securely fastened to the windshield with rope or tape. b. All doors, except the drivers door, should be tied closed. All material, including antennas, that exceed the width of the vehicle should be removed and secured inside the vehicle. All antennas should be lowered and tied down. 7-6. Loading on Railcar With Wood Deck Floor a. The CUCVs can be driven or towed onto the railcar if suitable ramps or bridges are available. They also can be placed in the tiedown position on the flatcar empty with a crane of adequate capacity. b. Before the CUCV is lifted at its gross vehicle weight, it must be checked to see if the frame reinforcement kits have been applied. If these have been applied, the CUCV can be safely positioned on the flatcar with a crane of adequate capacity. C . When the M1028 shelter carrier is loaded, the shelter must be removed and loaded separately to prevent damage to the shelter. 7-1 30 January 1987 TM 55-2320-289-14 7-7. Blocking and Tiedown on Railcar With Wood Floor a. Figure 7-1 shows the CUCV blocked and tied on a flatcar with a wood floor. Figure 7-2 is a detailed diagram of the blocking and tiedown of the CUCV. The bill of materials and application of materials for blocking and tiedown of a CUCV on a general purpose flatcar are shown in tables 7-1 and 7-2, respectively. NOTE A staggered nail pattern will be used when blocking and bracing lumber is nailed to the floor of railcar. In addition, the nailing pattern for an upper piece of laminated lumber will be adjusted, as required, so that a nail for that piece will not be driven down through or right beside a nail in the lower piece of lumber. 7-2 30 January 1987 Figure 7-1.

Attach one chain tiedown to each tiedown shackle in front and rear. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS 1. When ordering specialized railway equipment, shippers should specify cars equipped with tiedown devices in the quantity and strength as shown in item B. When carriers furnish cars that do not have builtin chains and tensioning devices, chains shown in item B will be used to secure vehicles. Tiedown chains must be checked for twisted or kinked links before they are applied to the vehicles. 2. Vehicles must face in the same direction and be uniformly spaced along the length of the railcar to allow sufficient space at each end of the car and between the vehicles for securement. Apply tiedowns from the vehicle shackle to the car tiedown facility. The angle of the tiedown should be as close as possible to 45°. When the length of vehicles loaded on a 75-foot car precludes facing all vehicles in the same direction, one vehicle may be reversed to ensure application of tiedowns at a floor angle of 45°. 3. Parking brakes must be set and wire-tied or blocked. 4. The transmission select lever must be placed in N (neutral) position and wire-tied or blocked. 5. Open hooks must be secured with wire over the opening to prevent the hook from becoming disengaged. 6. Turnbuckles used to tighten chains must be wired or locked with nuts to prevent the turnbuckles from turning during transit, unless the turnbuckles are equipped with self-locking devices. 7. When vehicles are shipped in a loaded configuration, the gross vehicle weight rating of each vehicle must not be exceeded and the proper size and number of tiedowns must be used to secure the vehicles to the railcar. Proof-tested to a minimum of 27,500 pounds. Attach one chain tiedown to each tiedown shackle in front and rear. Apply tiedowns from the vehicle shackle to the car tiedown facility. The angle of the tiedown should be as close as possible to 45°, The chains are to be preloaded to the point where the vertical height of the vehicle is reduced by one inch (see figure 7-5). GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS 1. When ordering specialized railway equipment, shippers should specify cars equipped with tiedown devices in the quantity and strength as shown in 7-10a. above. When carriers furnish cars that do not have built-in chains and tensioning devices, chains shown in item B will be used to secure vehicles. Tiedown chains must be checked for twisted or kinked links before they are applied to the vehicles. 2. Parking brakes must be set and wire-tied or blocked. 3. The transmission select lever must be placed in N (neutral) position and wire-tied or blocked. 4. Open hooks must be secured with wire over the opening to prevent the hook from becoming disengaged. 5.

Except for the truck with the S-250 shelter carrier and the ambulance, the CUCVs can be loaded on each deck of either as 85- or 89-foot bilevel railcar. The shelter carrier and ambulance exceed the height for shipment on either deck of the bilevel cars. Chain tiedowns are provided between the vehicle when the vehicles are loaded (fig 7-11). 7-19 TM 55-2320-289-14 7-20 Figure 7-11. 30 January 1987 TM 55-2320-289-14 30 January 1987 b. Bilevel railcars must meet the following criteria to transport the CUCVs: (1) A width of 109 inches between columns. (2) A height of 84 1/2 inches on the lower deck and 96 inches on the upper deck. (3) A total capacity of 40,000 pounds on each level. c. The application of chain tiedowns, as well as general instructions, for securing CUCVs on bilevel cars is provided in table 7-9. NOTE When bilevel railcars are used, loading ramps will be needed at origin and destination points. AR 55-351, Terminal Facilities Guide, lists all Army installations that have the capability to receive or ship by bilevel railcars. If the receiving installation cannot offload because it has no ramps, then ramps must be requested with the railcars. Table 7-9. Application of Chain Tiedowns for Securing CUCVs on Bilevel Railcars (Fig 7-11) GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS 1. The shipper should specify cars equipped with tiedown devices in the quantities shown in item B when ordering specialized railway equipment. 2. Load binders are not to be used as tensioning devices. 3. Vehicles must face in the same direction and be uniformly spaced along the length of the car to allow sufficient space at each end of the car and between the vehicles for securement. Apply tiedowns parallel to each other at the same end of the vehicle and from the vehicle shackle to the car tiedown facility. The angle of the tiedown should be as close as possible to 45°. 4. Tiedown chains must be checked for twisted or kinked links before they are applied to the vehicles. 5. Parking brakes must be set and wire-tied. 6. Transmission selector lever must be placed in N (neutral) position and wire-tied or blocked. Section Ill. TRANSPORT ON FOREIGN RAILWAYS 7-12. General The transportability guidance contained in this section is applicable when the CUCVs are transported on foreign railways. Consideration is given to single and multiple vehicle movements on the types of railcars normally used for the movement of the CUCVs. The CUCV, when loaded on suitable railcars to comply with the Gabrit Internatioanl de Chargement (GIC) gauge, can be transported without restriction with European countries, in most countries in the Middle East, and in South America, Australia, India, and Pakistan. In the Middle East and South America, the clearance varies by country and each country will require a separate check. In Australia, India, and Pakistan, wide or broad gauge railways provide greater clearances and fewer restrictions. Because of the various classification systems used by different countries, foreign railcars are not easily classified. In addition, clearances vary from country to country; therefore, evaluation of transportability capability must be made for each country. 7-21 TM 55-2320-289-14 30 January 1987 7-13. Transport on Foreign Service Flatcars a. General. The CUCV can be transported on most foreign rail flatcars. b. Materials. The materials required for blocking and tiedown of the CUCV on foreign service flatcars are essentially the same as those used in CONUS. For general reference, refer to figure 7-1. Guidance for loading the CUCV on foreign railcars can be obtained from CDR, 1st Transportation Movement Control Agency, AEUTR-MCA-TA, APO NY 09451-4000. 7-22 By Order of the Secretary of the Army: Official: JOHN A.
